Birthday!


I don't know if you can guess from that picture, but tomorrow it's my birthday! This isn't going to be an awfully descriptive post; it really isn't going to be specific at all. But I just wanted to say that tomorrow at 11:13 AM, I will be 12! :) 

Waterpark :D

I haven't mentioned this because sadly I have not posted in a while, but I will be in Cape Cod for two weeks. We have been coming up with many new activities due to the new "need for outings" my brother and I now have. We are always wanting to get out of the house and the touristy brochures and magazines are constantly being stuffed in my pockets.

Earlier today, we visited a watermark a good hour away from our house on the Cape. We got in at 10:15, got tickets, and then went in for some fun! 

The first thing we did was get some tubes and go around the park in our tube as the water's waves pushed us gently forward. The force got more and more enhanced as the "ride" went on. We actually ended up going on that three times in our visit! 

Then, we went on the mini-slides on the water playground. I don't really mind that I felt like a three year old. It was fun! The water was about six inches deep and we were constantly being splashed. 

We decided to go on a more adventurous choice afterwards, so we headed to a black, closed slide and waited in a not-too-long line. I closed my eyes the whole time, but it was great! 

Then, we went in this little kids' area with small slides and things. There wasn't much to do but we played Hide-and-Seek (yeah, what the heck, I know)... 

We went on a different slide next. It was open and a sea blue color. We received tubes and were instructed to use them on the ride. I think that slide was my favorite part of the waterpark experience! I spun around and the slide seemed nice and long as well.

Lastly for the water activities, we checked out the wave pool. My brother had really been wanting to go in because for his camp that is where they went and the waterpark had a wave pool which he loved. It was just a normal pool but all of a sudden, jets going at a very fast pace would begin operating and we were pushed around. It was awesome, but awkward too because I kept crashing into random people. 

Before we left, I got a henna tattoo. I always wanted to get a henna tattoo so when there was a little henna station I ran right over. I got a tattoo that said "believe" in the Chinese symbols and really like it and think it's a great reminder telling me to believe in myself. I didn't go in the water after because I had to wait 15-20 minutes for the tattoo to dry and we were going to leave anyways. So we got changed and headed out, but overall, I think we had a great time at the waterpark! 

We got home at around 1:30 and then it started raining, so, perfect timing! Haha :P

Big Storm!

Sorry I haven't been writing in a while, but my only excuse is laziness. I also forgot about my blog some, I guess, but the major reason of why I've been gone is my extreme summer laziness lately. I go to acting/dance/singing camp from 9-12:15, and afterwards, I kind of just sit around but I always am busy doing something else. 


ANYWAYS. I think we should actually get to the point of this post now. It is expected that a big storm will occur pretty soon. I'm becoming a storm watcher so I'm putting a video up on YouTube maybe... haha. 


First my cat started spazzing out running around the house and putting her ears back. Pets are a great way to kind of get a prediction of the upcoming weather. I think that cats and dogs should be the weathermen, honestly. 


It started storming with gray skies and thunder (but no rain or anything) and then moved on to what it is now, sun and blue skies. The storm was a bit early at first so I'm expecting more to happen. But we will have to see!
